MY NOTES
ASK YOUR TEACHER
Disturbed by speeding cars outside his workplace, Nobel laureate Arthur Holly Compton designed a speed bump (called the "Holly hump") and had it installed. Suppose a 1800-kg car passes over a
hump in a roadway that follows the arc of a circle of radius 20.6 m as in the figure below.
(a) If the car travels at 22.0 km/h what force does the road exert on the car as the car passes the highest point of the hump?
magnitude
N.
direction
--Select-v
(b) What is the maximum speed the car can have without losing contact with the road as it passes this highest point?
km/h
Problem-3: A runaway truck with failed brakes is moving downgrade at 130 km/h just before the driver
steers the truck up a frictionless emergency escape ramp with an inclination of 0 = 15°. The truck's mass is
1.2 x 104 kg. (a) What minimum length L must the ramp have if the truck is to stop (momentarily) along it?
(Assume the truck is a particle, and justify that assumption.) Does the minimum length L increase, decrease,
or remain the same if (b) the truck's mass is decreased and (c) its speed is decreased?
A road heading due east passes over a small hill. You drive a car of mass m at constant speed v over the top of the hill, where the shape of the roadway is well approximated as an arc of a circle with radius R. Sensors have been placed on the road surface there to measure the downward force that cars exert on the surface at various speeds. The table gives values of this force versus speed for your car: Treat the car as a particle. (a) Plot the values in such a way that they are well fitted by a straight line. You might need to raise the speed, the force, or both to some power. (b) Use your graph from part (a) to calculate m and R. (c) What maximum speed can the car have at the top of the hill and still not lose contact with the road?
